WHAT IS WAFER PAPER?
Wafer paper is, simply put, delicate sheets of edible paper, typically rice-based, which are safe for consumption, imparting little flavor to the cake. Wafer paper can be manipulated in a number of ways, making it a versatile medium in creating a number of different cake decorating designs.
TO INSPIRE YOU, HERE’S A BRIEF REVIEW OF SOME OF THE WONDERFUL WAYS YOU CAN GET CREATIVE AND CRAFTY WITH WAFER PAPER.
1. DIE CUTTING
Using decorative paper punches, you can create elegant cutout designs that can be applied to an entire tier for a stunning lattice effect.


2. FLOWERS AND GREENERY
Use your wafer paper to create lovely bouquets of flowers and greenery.
Starting with a freehand cut strip of wafer paper, you can roll it just so to create exquisite blossoms of just about any size. Rolled roses look fantastic when placed in clusters on a finished cake.
Why stop at roses? Using templates, you can also trace, cut, form and attach petals to create cheerful blossoms held together with piping gel. While you’re at it, you can create complements, such as greenery or simple, dimensional butterfly cutouts.
3. DECOUPAGE TECHNIQUES
Turn your cake into a collage with decoupage techniques. In Delicate wafer paper leaves, instructor Stevi leads an in-depth discussion on how to mix and match patterns for use in decoupage and how to print colors and patterns onto your wafer paper. Then, she shows you how to attach the paper onto the cake for an enchanting effect.
